Qualifications
- MEng (University of Hull)
- PhD (Aston University)
Summary
I obtained an MChem Chemistry from the University of Hull in 2013, I then acquired a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Aston University where I worked in the Energy and Bioproducts Research Institute.
After a brief stint in industry where I worked for British Steel, I returned to the University of Hull in 2018 as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Energy and Environment Institute.
In 2022 I became a Lecturer in Chemical Engineering.
My research interests are in:
Heterogeneous Catalysis
Nanomaterials
Green Chemistry and Sustainable Chemical Processes
Waste to Low Carbon Fuels
Waste to Materials for Environmental Protection and Carbon Capture
